Azerbaijan, Hikmet Hajiyev, commented on the interview given by Edward Nalbandian to 'International Affairs' magazine."The allegations of yArmenian Foreign Minister against Azerbaijan are contradictory to the realities of the negotiation process. It is yet another helpless attempt to mislead the international community," Hajiyev said, noting that the OSCE Minsk Group has repeatedly stated that the current status quo is unacceptable, which is based on Armenian aggression against Azerbaijan and the occupation of its territory, 1news.az reports."The status quo should be changed, first and foremost, with the de-occupation of Azerbaijan’s occupied territories by Armenia," he said, noting that in May 2014, the OSCE Minsk Group Co-Chair from the United States James Warlick, supported by other MG Co-Chairs, presented a point plan for the resolution of the conflict, the major component of this plan is the liberation of the occupied territories of Azerbaijan by Armenia."Despite calls of the OSCE Minsk Group Co-Chairs, Armenia refuses to start working on a Comprehensive Peace Agreement," the spokesman said."I would also like to remind the Armenian Foreign Minister, who distorts the statements and calls of the OSCE Minsk Group Co-Chairs, that it was written in the Budapest document on the mandate of the OSCE MG Co-Chairs dated March 23, 1995 that the Co-Chairs will be guided by the UN Charter, the Helsinki Final Act and the UN Security Council resolutions in their activities. The resolutions of the UN Security Council reaffirm the territorial integrity and sovereignty of Azerbaijan and Nagorno-Karabakh as part of Azerbaijan and underlining the inadmissibility of use of force for acquisition of territories, demanding immediate, unconditional and full withdrawal of occupying forces from all occupied territories," Hajiyev said.He also said that, despite the support of this initiative by the OSCE Minsk Group Co-Chairs, Armenia refuses to exchange information on the fate of missing persons. "As an outcome of Armenian aggression against Azerbaijan, 4000 more Azerbaijanis are considered missing persons. Most of them have been massacred by Armenia and have been buried in mass graves in Armenia and in the occupied territories," the head of the press service of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Azerbaijan said."The leadership of Armenia bears responsibility for the ongoing situation. With its pursued destructive policy once again it proves that Armenia is not interested in bringing peace, stability and predictability to the region," Hajiyev said.
